Join us for the World Cup 2020 Finals LIVE this Weekend!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Over 193 teams from 57 nations joined the 2v2 World Cup tournament; now, after several weeks of intense matches, the best players in the world will face off in some of the most exciting team-games of the year!

The final four teams battling for the crown—Norway, Spain, Brazil A, and China A—faced a path full of adversity to make it this far, but their greatest tests still lie ahead.

TOURNAMENT RECAP
[hr][/hr]
Norway (TheViper & MBL) played against Vietnam B and the Czech Republic in the group stage. They faced a tough Vietnam B squad who fought all the way to the final game, where Norway emerged with a 3-2 victory. They then faced France and Russia in the Round of 16 and Quarterfinals, but their biggest test comes this Saturday when they face Spain (TaToH & LaaaaaN) in the Semifinal.

Norway achieved 4th place in the 2018 2v2 World Cup event.
Spain (TaToH & LaaaaaN) emerged from their group after battling China B and Argentina B. They eliminated Argentina A in the Round-of-16 and faced a tough matchup against Canada at the Quarterfinals. Spain’s teamwork and strategy pushed them through to the Semifinal, where they face Norway. GamerLegion teammates, Viper and TaToH, will be on opposite sides in this matchup.
Brazil A (Dogao, Miguel & FeAge) met Turkey and Finland B in the group stage. Brazil A beat the crowd favorite, Finland B, and their unconventional strategies in a 3-1 set to advance. They then eliminated their compatriots, Brazil B, in the Round of 16 before facing Vietnam A (the 2018 World Cup Semifinalists) in the Quarterfinals—winning the tournament’s (arguably) most entertaining series yet with a 3-2 score.
China A (Mr_Yo & Lyx) round out the semifinalist group of this year’s 2v2 World Cup. They claimed second place in the 2018 2v2 World Cup, and look ready to emulate—if not improve—their run this year. They defeated France and Ukraine in their group. They faced their compatriots, China B, in the Round of 16, and eliminated the 2018 World Cup winners, Finland A, in the Quarterfinals by a score of 3-1—a repeat matchup straight 2018 Finals.
THE BEST IS YET TO COME
[hr][/hr]The semifinals (Norway vs Spain, Brazil vs China) will take place this Saturday, December 19. The losing teams will wrap up their tournament during the third-place consolation match on Sunday, December 20, followed immediately by the Grand Finals. Each matchup will be decided in a best-of-7 series.



All four teams will face their greatest challenges over this weekend, and each player must perform to the peak of their skill in order to win. The opponents will be ready to punish any mistake, and none of the teams want to go home with any medal less than gold.

WHERE TO WATCH

Age Of Empires 2 is about to drop a new expansion full of wine-powered nightmare men

Age Of Empires 2


is about to receive its sixth expansion pack, Lords Of The West, just a casual 22 years after the base game first wololoed its way onto our screens. From January 26th in the year of our lord 2021, players will be able to take the knight-happy Burgundians and the castle-dropping Sicilians for a spin, as well as play through three new campaigns – one each for the new civs, and a third for the Britons, featuring good old Edward Longshanks. Longshanks, of course, was the baddie off of Braveheart, and thus also the baddie off of AoE2’s first ever campaign, where you played as William Wallace in a series of adventures that were totally based on history and not the film.

Red Bull Wololo III: SIGN-UPS are OPEN!

THE EVENT
[hr][/hr]IT'S BACK! Red Bull Wololo is returning for its THIRD installment on January 2, 2021, and its arrival guarantees another thrilling spectacle as the biggest 1v1 Empire Wars competition in Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition!

The best players in the world will face each other in a custom version of Empire Wars—a unique game mode that skips the buildup of a traditional match. Instead, combatants begin in the Feudal Age: bringing the most exciting action to the forefront as players battle across 13 new and existing maps.

THE STAGE
[hr][/hr]The global tournament will be played in two stages. Red Bull Wololo III’s Open Qualifiers will be played over two weekends, with the eight finalists earning an invite to participate in the Main Event with eight of the top Age of Empires players in the world.

...there's a twist, however...!

Red Bull Wololo III introduces an overarching story to the entire tournament series, weaving each Wololo event into a larger narrative:

Civilizations in each Red Bull Wololo event are fighting over a castle which has a library containing the knowledge required for world domination. Each Wololo event represents a different civilization trying to gain control of the castle and its library: with Red Bull Wololo I and II representing Western Civilization, and Wololo III now representing Asian Civilization. The tournament series will conclude in a grand final where the winners of each tournament battle it out—an event you won't want to miss.
JOIN THE ACTION
[hr][/hr]The action begins when the Open Qualifiers get underway on the weekends of January 2-3 and 9-10, followed by the Main Event weekends of January 16-17 and 22-24. Registration is open for players to compete in the open qualifiers—whether for experience or for a shot at the crown:
